How does the process of cellular respiration create energy? a.)cells split into two new cells with the identical genetic makeup. b.)chloroplasts use carbon dioxide and water to create glucose. c.)mitochondria use oxygen to break down glucose and convert it to atp. d.)waste passes through the cell membrane and leaves the cell.

I choose c.

Explanation: Through the process of cellular respiration, the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body's cells. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide and water, and the energy is transferred to ATP.

C.)Mitochondria use oxygen to break down glucose and convert it to ATP.
